No smell when untouched.........NL strains and crosses usually carry this trait. Your not talking shit on one of the building blocks of all modern indoor cannabis strains are you? Lol
Old sparky is still working
.......Looks like I will get something out of this run. NL shining through with it's high flower to leaf ratio, even with all the issues I've had in this grow. Getting a small hint of rotting fruit in the room but still very manageable with an O3 unit next to the exhaust.
..........my vegan mix has finally become ineffective in supplying the necessary nutrients, it did well imo. To late to add any macro nutrients as by the time it becomes available , this grow will be over. I am gonna give them 1tbs per gallon of TJ's organic agave nectar (carbs) to help the beni bacs/microbes "squeeze" whatever is left in this mix. It's the cleanest form of sugar I have laying around ATM.
............temps are awesome here in the north east, cool actually for this time of year. My meter/power went out again due to strong storms , I probably should stop paying my PECO bills for the fucking timer hassles alone.......................... 2 weeks left and chop chop these bitches hopefully.
Their still going
....................breaking out the luope on sunday and will update then. Lots of shit to talk about including my "blow-up" with fucking PECO about my power loss again! hint: I lost
..... I'm shocked at this point that my girls haven't hermied TBH....
Hey, that's a bunch of bum shit you (and your plant's) are going through. Hope it just gets better for you.Their still going
Busy; grasshoppers are making my life miserable atm..............about to call in air support, yeah that bad(10-15% loss in 2 days!)......sucks
Sorry for the confusion friend, it's @ work NOT on my precious girls
..............I usually have time to fuck around on my phone, but grasshoppers are voracious eaters and has everyone jittery; boss is on my ass.Thanks brother, it's complete BS when your paying for a service and it's unreliableHey, that's a bunch of bum shit you (and your plant's) are going through. Hope it just gets better for you.
I will tell you when it's over.................
"old sparky" can put up some nice buds for this strain and it's still working!.....lol..........I know it's getting sooooo repetitive; bear with me friends. I don't think it could have turned out any better for this particular grow given my crappy circumstances. It is what it is............excuses are like assholes=== they all stink.
............Decent frost and hard flowers IMO..............not bad for the wattage(?), I'm going to hook up this "outdated" fixture to the killo-watt meter at weigh time to see what it actually pulls. Almost where I like on amber%, couple of days and chop/chop.
............Power issues pissed me off and I complained to PECO==== the outcome is they upgraded the building to smart meters now!!; OHHHH great, just what I wanted...sarc.............fuckers.
The light did very well. But as you said it's a process to perfect.Well said 707, but If you look at any photosynthesis graph you will notice the blue is actually higher than the red. Yes, I do agree that maybe a little more red in the 660-670nm range would be "ideal" color for flower, but we're not that far off at all. Maybe we'll offer that for the next generation of our horticulture LED. It's an ongoing process for us to perfect our LED's. It's also very costly to do R&D and the time involved.
I've personally tested one single source led all the way up to four chips on a fixture. Yes, you may have a little better area coverage but you are loosing the punch power when you lower the wattage on the chip. It could be as much as 30% less punch depending not he chip. We're trying to perfect the ideal punch vs area coverage. What we specialized in is high powered single source full spectrum COB. We don't want our led to be like the China made chip with a bunch of 3-5w and put it in a fixture. That's why they give LED a bad name for the horticulture industry in the past. It's gotten better but they're not there yet. We're here to change that mindset, one grower at a time, one industry at a time. Slowly but surely!
There's a lot more exciting things to come in the near future. Just keep an eye our for us.
I'd like to emphasize what Greengenes stated about coverage. It is a pretty significant factor in deploying a grow. A really strong and small point source of focused leds requires quite a bit of distance to get coverage over the whole canopy, and then it won't be even coverage unless a light mover is used. Even coverage over the canopy is as important as punch power.
I'm still busy friend...............the aerial applications did it's damage, but still fighting the bastards..........worst we had in years due to the rains/cool summer. Getting overtime though!, and playing on the work laptop.Hey PSUAGRO, I'm on edge waiting for some update and results.
..............this is why locust swarms bring absolute fear in the agricultural industry====ours is minuscule in comparison
It must be a pretty weak light compared to normal COBs. The point sourciness is also not ideal. I'm impressed how well psuagro did given this light. Looking at the evenness of the plants he must have rotated them like it's a barbeque. I think it is only out of respect for him that Innoled is not completely flamed down here. Like what normally would happen with "320W replaces 1000W" claims.
